Toys for joy 2024

Join us on Tuesday, December 17th, for the 6th annual TOYS FOR JOY shopping event, hosted by Players Reach Foundation—our biggest year yet! We’re partnering with more retailers, supporting more kids, and providing more gifts to meet a greater need than ever before, all dedicated to bringing joy to Austin’s youth.

Local leaders and athletes are volunteering their time and resources to shop alongside young students, creating a memorable and uplifting evening after a year of hard work in school.

This event is made possible entirely by donations from the Players Reach community.
